Sometimes it’s difficult to see...

...that I’m surrounded by people who love me and that I love. It’s been tough lately. Sometimes the aloneness of this existence is unbearable. It took a reminder from a very wise person to help me understand. When times get tough and it’s hard to see clear, reach out. Someone is always listening.

The Three Marriages by David Whyte

I finally have some time to read books I want to read. Taking a dive into The Three Marriages by David Whyte. Here's an excerpt.

The Three Marriages looks at the way we actually seem to function--as a kind of movable conversational frontier, an edge between what we think is us and what we think is not us. Following the lives of Robert Louis Stevenson, Jane Austen, Charles Dickens and others, it tries to illustrate the way we can still make a real life even when crowded by other identities, or even when unbalanced and intoxicated with desire, or even when we are disappointed in work or love, and perhaps the way, at the center of all this deep love of belonging and this deep exhaustion of belonging, we may have waiting for us, at the end of the tunnel, a marriage of marriages, a life worth living, and one we can call, despite all the difficulties and imperfections, our very own.
